Every sneaker lover knows that keeping their kicks fresh is essential to maintaining their style. At Kenz Klean, we’ve mastered the art of sneaker cleaning, ensuring every pair gets the care it deserves. Here, we’ll share our top tips for keeping your sneakers looking brand new, whether you’re cleaning at home or opting for professional services.

Understanding Different Sneaker Materials

  • Leather: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild soap solution to gently wipe away surface dirt. Avoid soaking the leather, and always air-dry to prevent cracking or warping.
  • Suede: Use the Kenz Klean Snuff Eraser (available in black and white) only when dry to lift dirt and minor stains. Suede is delicate, so we highly recommend opting for a professional clean for deeper stains or discoloration.
  • Canvas: For mild dirt, use warm water, a few drops of mild detergent, and a soft cloth to wipe down the surface. The Snuff Eraser can be used dry for stubborn marks on the sole or rubber areas.

Step-by-Step At-Home Cleaning Guide

  • Remove laces and insoles before starting to clean.
  • Use a dry brush or cloth to remove loose dirt from the surface.
  • Prepare a mild cleaning solution with water and a few drops of gentle detergent.
  • Use a soft cloth dipped in the solution to gently clean the surface of the sneakers. Be sure to wring out excess water to avoid soaking.
  • Rinse with a damp cloth and let the sneakers air-dry, away from direct sunlight.
  • Use the Kenz Klean Snuff Eraser only on dry areas to touch up any remaining marks.
